Honda Dream DX CD110 Owner's manual

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd.

WELCOME

The vehicle presents you a challenge to master the machine, a challenge to adventure. You

ride through the wind, linked to the road by a vehicle that responds to your commands as

no other does. Unlike an automobile, there is no metal cage around you. Like an air plane,

a pre-ride inspection and regular maintenance are essential to your safety. Your reward is

freedom.

To meet the challenges safely, and to enjoy the adventure fully, you should become

thoroughly familiar with this owner’s manual BEFORE YOU RIDE THE VEHICLE.

As you read this manual, you will nd information that is preceded by a symbol.

This information is intended to help you avoid damage to your vehicle, other property, or

the environment.

When service is required, remember that your Honda dealer knows your vehicle. If you

have the required mechanical “know-how” and tools, your dealer can supply you an ofcial

Honda shop manual on paid basis to help you perform many maintenance and repair tasks.

Accessories shown in the illustration are not part of the standard equipment.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

This Vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter.

The catalytic converter contains precious metals that serve as catalysts. Promoting chemical

reactions to convert the exhaust gasses without affecting the metals.

The catalytic converter acts on HC, CO, and NOx. A replacement unit must be an original

Honda part or its equivalent.

The catalytic converter must operate at a high temperature for the chemical reactions to

take place. It can set on re any combustible materials that come near it. Mark your vehicle

away from high grasses, dry leaves, or other ammables.

A defective catalytic converter contributes to air pollution, and can impair your engine’s

performance. Follow these guidelines to protect your motorcycle’s catalytic converter.

• Always use unleaded petrol. Even a small amount of leaded petrol can contaminate the

catalyst metals, making the catalytic converter ineffective.

• Keep the engine tuned-up.

• Have your vehicle diagnosed and replaced if it is misring, backring stalling or

otherwise not running properly.

VEHICLE SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Your vehicle can provide many years

of service and pleasure if you take

responsibility for your own safety and

understand the challenges that you can

meet on the road.

There is much that you can do to protect

yourself when you ride. You’ll nd many

helpful recommendations throughout this

manual. Following are few that we consider

most important.

Always Wear a Helmet

It’s a proven fact: helmets signicantly

reduce the number and severity of head

injuries. So always wear an approved

helmet and make sure your pillion rider

does the same. We also recommend that

you wear eye protection, sturdy boots,

gloves, and other protective gear (page 4).

Make Yourself Easy to be Visible

Some drivers do not see vehicles because

they are not looking for them. To make

yourself more visible, wear bright reective

clothing, position yourself so other drivers

can see you, signal before turning or

changing lanes, and use your horn when it

will help others notice you.

Ride Within Your Limits

Pushing the limits is another major cause of

vehicle accidents. Never ride beyond your

personal abilities or faster than conditions

warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs,

fatigue and inattention can signicantly

reduce your ability to make good

judgements and ride safely.

Keep Your Vehicle in Safe Condition

For safe riding, it’s important to inspect

your vehicle before every ride and perform

all recommended maintenance. Never

exceed load limits, and only use accessories

that have been approved by Honda for this

vehicle. See page 6 for more details.

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd.

CD110 Dream DX

Don’t Drink and Ride

Don’t mix Alcohol and riding. Even one

drink can reduce your ability to respond

to changing conditions, and your reaction

time gets worse with every additional drink.

So don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your

friends drink and ride either.

PROTECTIVE APPAREL

For your safety, we strongly recommend

that you always wear an approved helmet,

eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants,

and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever

you ride. Although complete protection is

not possible, wearing proper gear can

reduce the chance of injury when you ride.

Following are suggestions to help you

choose proper gear.

!

WARNING

Not wearing a helmet increases the chance

of serious injury or death in a crash.

Be sure you and your pillion rider always

wear a helmet, eye protection and other

protective apparel when you ride.

Helmet and Eye Protection

Your helmet is your most important piece

of riding gear because it offers the best

protection against head injuries. A helmet

should t your head comfortably and securely.

A bright-coloured helmet can make you more

noticeable in trafc, as can reective strips.

An open-face helmet offers some protection,

but a full-face helmet offers more. Always

wear a face shield or goggles to protect

your eyes and help your vision.

Additional Riding Gear

In addition to a helmet and eye protection,

we also recommend:

● Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help

protect your feet and ankles.

● Leather gloves to keep your hands warm

and help prevent blisters, cuts, burns and

bruises.

● A vehicle riding suit or jacket for comfort

as well as protection. Bright coloured

and reective clothing can help make

you more noticeable in trafc. Be sure to

avoid loose clothes that could get caught

on any part of your vehicle.

LOAD LIMITS AND GUIDELINES

Your vehicle has been designed to carry

you and one pillion rider. When you carry a

pillion rider, you may feel some difference

during acceleration and braking. But so long

as you keep your vehicle well- maintained,

with good tyres and brakes, you can safely

carry loads within the given limits and

guidelines.

However, exceeding the weight limit or

carrying an unbalanced load can seriously

affect your vehicle’s handling, braking and

stability. Non-Honda accessories, improper

modications, and poor maintenance can

also reduce your safety margin.

The following pages give more specic

information on loading, accessories and

modications.

Loading

How much weight you put on your vehicle,

and how you load it, are important to your

safety. Anytime you ride with a pillion

rider or cargo you should be aware of the

following information.

!

WARNING

Overloading or improper loading can

cause a crash and you can be seriously

hurt or killed.

Follow all load limits and other loading

guidelines in this manual.

Load Limits

Following are the load limits for your

vehicle:

Maximum weight capacity:

170 kg (375 lbs)

Includes the weight of the rider, pillion

rider, all cargo and all accessories

LOADING GUIDELINES

Your vehicle is primarily intended for

transporting you and a pillion rider. You

may wish to secure a jacket or other small

items to the seat when you are not riding

with a pillion rider. If you wish to carry more

cargo, check with your Honda dealer for

advice, and be sure to read the information

regarding accessories on page 6.

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd.

CD110 Dream DX

!

Improperly loading your vehicle can affect

its stability and handling. Even if your

vehicle is properly loaded, you should ride

at reduced speeds whenever carrying cargo.

Follow these guidelines whenever you carry

a pillion rider or cargo:

● Check that both tyres are properly inated.

● To prevent loose items from creating a

hazard, make sure that all cargo is

securely tied down before you ride away.

● Place cargo weight as close to the center

of the vehicle as possible.

● Balance cargo weight evenly on both sides.

● Do not attach large or heavy items (such

as a sleeping bag or tent) to the handlebars,

forks or fender.

Accessories and Modications

Modifying your vehicle or using non-Honda

accessories can make your vehicle unsafe.

Before you consider making any modications

or adding an accessory, be sure to read the

following information.

WARNING

Improper accessories or modications

can cause a crash in which you can be

seriously hurt or killed.

Follow all instructions in this owner’s

manual regarding accessories and

modications.

Accessories

We strongly recommend that you use only

Honda Genuine Accessories that have been

specically designed and tested for your

vehicle. Because Honda cannot test all

other accessories, you must be personally

responsible for proper selection, installation

and use of non-Honda accessories. Check

with your dealer for assistance and always

follow these guidelines:

● Make sure the accessory does not obscure

any lights, reduce ground clearance and

banking angle, limit suspension travel or

steering travel, alter your riding position

or interfere with operating any controls.

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd.

CD110 Dream DX

● Be sure not to use any non-genuine

electrical equipment or equipment having

capacity exceeding vehicle’s electrical

system capacity (page 68). A blown fuse

can cause a loss of lights or engine power.

● Do not pull a trailer or sidecar with your

vehicle. This vehicle is not designed for

these attachments, and their use can

seriously impair your vehicle’s handling.

MODIFICATIONS

We strongly advise you not to remove any

original equipment or modify your vehicle

in any way that would change its design

or operation. Such changes could seriously

impair your vehicle’s handling, stability and

braking, making it unsafe to ride.

Removing or modifying your lights,

mufers, emission control system or other

equipment can also make your vehicle

illegal.

ANTI-THEFT TIPS

1. Always lock the steering.

2. Never leave the key in the ignition

switch. This sounds simple but people

do forget.

3. Be sure the registration information for

your vehicle is accurate and current.

4. Put your vehicle in a locked garage

whenever possible.

5. Use an additional anti-theft device of

good quality.

6. Put your name, address, and phone

number in this Owner’s Manual and

keep it on your vehicles at all times.

Many times stolen vehicles are identied

by information in the Owner’s Manuals.
